    2014 DIY unit 9 archery bull elk

    Had the fortune of drawing a unit 9 tag this year. Never had been in the unit untill my scouting trips prior to the season. During the scouting trips I located 2 really big bulls. I had high hopes of killing a giant come the season. Got up to my camp 2 days prior to season and found a lot of elk but nothing in the caliber of what I was looking for. The first 3 days of the hunt I passed on 8 bulls under 40 yards but the quality of bugeling and activity time started to deteriorate quickly. I was fortunate enought to harvest this bull on the 3rd evening of the hunt. I knew he wouldn't score great but the character of him being a roll back with long beams great mass and extremely wide I couldn't let him walk when he presented me with a broadside 35yd shot. I figure not to bad for a guy hunting solo in brand new country I'd never been in before. Great way to start the year off and the freezer is full!

    WTS Zeiss 15x60 T* binoculars

    Those are not the BGA *T model. If they were it would say on the bridge and focus nob. Big difference in the BGA*T and the regular *T model

    Major back fire or coincidence?

    Well since spot and stalk archery hunting is to successful of a method we should request a ban on that as well... Tree stand only from now on while archery hunting. I'd love to see a bunch of bowhunters 4 feet off the ground setup in paloverde and mesquite trees...

    Major back fire or coincidence?

    I don't think the real problem is the archery deer hunters success one bit. The real problem is the extra early rifle hunts they added a few years back and the extreme over saturation of rifle tags. Everyone is now starting to see this catch up with the deer and becoming harder and harder to find a quality buck. This causing a lot more guys to now go deeper and further in country they never did before. All around its been a vicious cycle to the deer quality. As far as the archery success I don't know how much more can be taken away from archery hunters considering the disadvantage they are already at. It's Just starting to get a bit ridiculous that "the problem is archery hunters are to successful"..... Just read the hunt success numbers in the regs. Almost every rifle hunt no matter the quality is going to have a much higher success rate than the archery hunters.

    2015 buck is down for the count

    My buddy took the pics of him with his Cannon EOS Rebel T5i with a 300mm lense while I was stalking the buck the multiple times I was on him! The live photos and all the history with this buck definitely made it all the much sweeter.

    fixed blade or mechanical broad heads ?!?

    From September till this January I've shot 5 deer (4 out of state) and a bull elk all with slick trick 100gn standards. Haven't had to trail any of these animals more than 50 yards. Little 4 blade head sure does some damage and puts a nasty big hole.

    Definitely a tank of a body. No idea on weight exactly but I shot a deer in illinois in November that was 200lbs and he was very close to the same body size.

  15. Me and my partner have been backpacking since the DEC HUNT started. Had a bunch of difficulties along the hunt and we both tagged out. As of request I won't post my partners buck but I finished out okay... I said this season 110" or bust but I broke weak and killed this guy. Ended up 107 3/8. Gonna make a beautiful euro mount. Enjoy

    any minute now....

    I'm stuck at work today and this late 33 rifle tag is burning a hole in my pocket...
  17. Took a little road trip from Tucson to Illinois. Came back here to visit some family and shoot some deer. Been spot and stalking and sitting in stands for 3 days now. I poked this buck with a sharp stick this morning at 49 yards. Still got 9 days left to hunt so hopefully I can out do this little 3x3 with a big boy in the next few days and hopefully put a few does down in the process. Slick trick 100gn standards really do a number on animals. Shot this buck with the same broadhead and arrow that I shot my bull elk with.

    Trigger pull for hunting rifle

    My 6mm is set to 12oz and my 338 lapua is set at 8oz. They are my go to hunting rifles. Both are jewell triggers. I love having a super light trigger just for accuracy purposes only down fall is when I shoot other rifles with triggers most people consider light I feel like I'm pulling crazy hard on them. Good luck to all those hunting this weekend
